Re: 2018 New York Giants Thread

I hope that was sarcasm. The media and fans regurgitating what others say about Rosen is ridiculous. The whole concept that because a kid grew up wealthy doesn't really like football (or whatever else he does) is utterly stupid. Pretty doubtful he'd be playing such a dangerous sport if didn't have or want or hated to..also his father is a doctor not a multi millionaire CEO or former athlete. Hello Eli Manning.
Also if he didn't like football I doubt he would have put work into having excellent mechanics, footwork, and reading a defense...
The concern with Rosen is health. But it's not something you can predict. For all we know he can have a pretty healthy career.

I don't get a feeling/sense the Giants are trading down. Which means they either want a QB or Barkley.

Re: 2018 New York Giants Thread

Cleveland Browns: Sam Darnold, QB, USC: The Browns have to use the pick on a quarterback, and we think they’ll choose Darnold.

New York Giants: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State: Barkley was a star at the NFL combine. If the Giants want to stick with Eli Manning, Barkley will help extend his career.

New York Jets: Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA: The Jets will continue toiling in mediocrity as long as they lack quality quarterback play. Rosen is an excellent consolation prize and seems capable of handling the New York spotlight.

Asinine mock draft. Eli is 37 and a turnover machine. They are taking a QB.

The Jets trade definitely makes it less of a sure thing. If they are set on a QB, they've got to take him #1. They could still very well get Barkley at 4. If the Giants take him, Chubb, Nelson, and Fitzpatrick are very nice consolation prizes.

Right, the Browns can't mess around again about acquiring a QB. That was the criticism of the prior GM regime. Dorsey isn't going to make that same mistake and will take the best QB on their board and use their next pick at #4 for the best position player available then which could be Barkley or those you noted.

Re: 2018 New York Giants Thread

When has an RB extended a QB's career? An offensive line, probably but an RB? Christ. Some of these evaluations are maddening.

John Elway - Terrell Davis? Though Denver had some very good O-Lines those years.

I'm Ok if they feel there is only 1 franchise QB in the draft and Cleveland takes him that they go with Barkely or if there evaluation is none of these guy will be great, but if they feel there is a guy who can be their QB of the future for 10 season I really hope they take him.

I'd hardly call a guy who blew his hand off, showed remorse, and fought his way back to being a productive player (actually graded as the #13 edge rusher ahead of version in 2017) a "quitter". But okay, tough guy!

From what I read all over the interwebz there’s no quarterback that really stands out as a future franchise type. Maybe there’s gonna be one next year or two? trading the number two slot is definitely something they’re probably considering.

I commend his effort to comeback from his "mishap" and his play in 2016 earned him that huge extension. But his lack of performance in 2017 is when he was quit on his team and mailed it in. If you think is 2017 was productive then we are watching two different teams.
